Top 7 Castor Oil Health Benefits and Uses

Castor oil is an amazing oil that I’ve discovered when my second daughter had severe eczema on her face when she was a toddler. We tried everything from prescription hydrocortisone cream to home remedies such as aloe vera and coconut oil, but eczema always flared back up. Finally, I decided to give castor oil a try. I bought a bottle of cold pressed castor oil and rub it on her face every time her eczema flared up. After doing this routine for a few weeks, we started to see improvements and how her eczema is gone for good.
